Gu Ying thought Xiao Bai wouldn't understand what she was saying, but she miscalculated. She continued to speak for nearly ten minutes, and the more Xiao Bai listened, the more confused he became. However, it wasn't because he didn't understand; rather, the more he listened, the clearer it became, which made him feel a bit embarrassed, like he had snuck into a movie theater without buying a ticket. The theoretical foundation of Gu Ying's mysterious numerology was based on I Ching, and if Xiao Bai hadn't studied it before, it would have sounded like nonsense to him. Unfortunately, he had studied it for a long time, and it was even taught by Feng Junzi himself.

  Mysticism is not easy to understand by reading classics, it may take many years of hard thinking to gain a little insight, and this little bit of accumulation has been passed down through generations to become mysticism. Feng Junzi taught Xiao Bai "Yi", mainly about the principles of Yi and the hexagrams, which reflect how the world's things change and evolve. He talked about high-level principles, but didn't talk about specific "applications". After listening to him, Xiao Bai understood the principles, but didn't know how to use them.

  Sometimes Xiao Bai asks Mr. Feng how to "calculate the eight trigrams"? Mr. Feng's answer makes him laugh and cry, only four words: "I won't either!" Whether true or false, Xiao Bai doesn't know, anyway this Mr. Feng is talking about "Xiang Xue" and isn't very interested in another branch of Yi Li - "Shu Shu". When he teaches Xiao Bai, it's even a kind of self-entertainment, calling himself - pulling eight trigrams, those who don't understand think they're studying some celebrity magazine or chatting on the internet.

  But Gu Ying's teaching to Luo Xue was completely different. She had already taught the basic theory of Yi studies before, so her first lesson was surprisingly about the principles that Feng Junzi told Xiao Bai - how all things change and cycle back, and then another key point - how to incorporate the appearance of things into the symbols and numbers. The theoretical foundation is the same, so at first Xiao Bai didn't quite understand, but after more than ten minutes he gradually understood. He wasn't understanding what Gu Ying was specifically teaching Luo Xue, but rather what she was getting at.

  If there's a difference between Feng Junzi and Gu Ying, Feng Junzi teaching Xiao Bai is more like discussing philosophy, while Gu Ying teaching Luo Xi is studying a science. After listening clearly, Xiao Bai feels dizzy, every time she hears a sentence, she feels dizzy because Gu Ying's explanation is too complicated, even more troublesome than the discrete mathematics learned in college. This lesson is about "Nine Palaces Eight Gates Formation", Xiao Bai knows what Nine Palaces and Eight Gates are, but the changes involved in these eight gates are too many, Gu Ying demonstrates on the computer graphics on the stage one by one to Luo Xi, not asking her to remember immediately, just telling her how to deduce the eight gates. Xiao Bai can't see the stage, so she feels confused.

  Rest, life, injury, poison, scenery, death, surprise, open, the basic principle of the four seasons and direction changes of these eight escape gates needs to be explained for half a month. Since this is someone else's private study, Xiao Bai felt even more embarrassed to turn back. It was obvious that Luo Xue studied very hard and gradually had no leisure time to make funny faces with Xiao Bai.

  On the way back to Luo Garden, Luo Xue was very tired and fell asleep in the car, unknowingly leaning on Xiao Bai's shoulder. Xiao Bai looked at Luo Xue and felt a little heartache, he didn't understand why Luo Shuihan suddenly made Luo Xue face so much hardship. The morning meeting and afternoon study were obviously too heavy for this little girl, Mr. Luo seemed too impatient, maybe that's how the young masters of wealthy families are.

  Luoxi felt very tired, but Xiaobai was in high spirits. As soon as he came out of the classroom, his mind became much clearer. For so many days, following Luoxi had been doing things that didn't require complex thinking, and over time, Xiaobai felt like his brain was getting lazy. Today's experience, although he was just auditing, made him think constantly, and this feeling actually made him feel very comfortable.

  Xiaobai bought a big bag of things at the pharmacy and went home. When Zhuang Ru opened the door, she saw him and asked what he had bought. Xiaobai mysteriously said: "Zhuang sister, you quickly go cook dinner, after eating take a bath, and be sure to wash your face clean."

  Zhuang Ru's face revealed a joyful expression: "Are you going to treat my injuries today?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "You're also very clever, let's try it out tonight. Don't disturb me for now, I'll go to the room to prepare the medicine... Where did you put the golden wound medicine that we brought back from the hospital last time?"

  Zhuang Ru: "You said that small bottle of medicine powder, didn't you pick it up?"

  "It's not that small bottle, it's that big package you spent 600 yuan on from the Chinese medicine store."

  "You're talking about that one, wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Zhuo Ru took out a large package of medicine from the cabinet and handed it to Xiao Bai. This medicine was bought at the hospital, but the prescription for Jin Wan Duan Xu Gao was missing eight flavors. However, Xiao Bai still asked the doctor to make up the prescription with the remaining flavors and mix it with pine resin and fragrant oil. What kind of medicine is this? It's actually the ancient prescription Jin Wan Tie Shan San, but the medicine in Xiao Bai's hand had two fewer flavors and one more flavor than the original prescription. Because Grandfather Jin had originally reduced two flavors from the Jin Wan Tie Shan San prescription and added nine flavors to create the Jin Wan Duan Xu Gao, but only one of the nine flavors added by Grandfather Jin was available at the hospital. Xiao Bai couldn't care about that much, so he just used it as Jin Wan medicine anyway.

  What is Xiao Bai doing with the golden iron powder? He's keeping it for himself, and also for that white-haired donkey. When you cut yourself, you have to leave a wound. This medicine is really cheap, 600 yuan for a big bag, compared to that 30,000 yuan small bottle of medicine, it can be ignored. He closed the door in his room, rolled up his sleeves, and used disinfectant cotton balls to wipe clean his left arm and the blade of the divine knife. Then with his right hand holding the knife, he lightly pricked himself, and fresh blood flowed out. Using a small sterilized cup to collect it, about half a cup was collected.

  The fresh blood couldn't be used directly or completely, so Xiaobai sat there waiting. He remembered that Grandpa Jin had said to wait until the blood was half-coagulated and close to being sticky. While waiting, Xiaobai applied some Golden Wound Iron Fan Powder to his own wound. As it turned out, this cheap medicine was actually quite effective - the bleeding stopped, and the wound felt cool and didn't hurt much anymore. Then he used a band-aid to cover up the wound with the powder on it. After waiting for about ten minutes, the blood in the tall, thin beaker had become very sticky, with a thin layer of pale yellow on its surface.

  Xiaobai carefully scooped out the layer of blood with a small spoon, put it in a ceramic bowl, and then slowly mixed it with the medicine powder until it was evenly distributed. The mixing should be stopped when a sticky feeling is felt, resulting in only a small brown gel-like medicinal paste about the size of a fingernail. During the preparation, it felt very strange because the medicine powder seemed to melt half into the blood and gradually become a uniform sticky substance.

  At this time, Zhuang Ru was knocking on the door outside the room and shouting for him to eat. Xiao Bai shouted loudly in the house: "You eat first, hurry up and finish eating, wash your face after finishing, I'm matching medicine, don't care about me!"

  Zhuang Ru didn't dare to disturb him from eating, and after finishing his meal without washing the bowl and chopsticks, he hurriedly went to take a bath. By the time Xiao Bai walked out of the room with a tray in hand, Zhuang Ru had already changed into her home clothes and was sitting on the sofa waiting for him. Xiao Bai smiled and said: "Sister Zhuang, your movements are really fast!"

  Zhuang Ru immediately saw a shiny silver object on the tray that looked like a carved knife, and curiously asked: "Xiao Bai, are you going to perform surgery on me?"

  "It's almost done, just a small operation."

  Zhuang Ru: "You go eat first, it's not late after you finish eating."

  Bai Shaoliu: "You're not in the mood for food, aren't you anxious too? Let me treat your wounds first... Is there a small mirror?"

  "Yes, I'll get it for you right now." Zhuang Ru returned to the room and took out a small mirror that a woman would use for makeup. This thing was obviously something she hadn't used in a long time, as the back of it had accumulated dust on the shelf.

  Xiao Bai didn't take the mirror but instead told Zhuang Ru: "You look at yourself in the mirror and pick a scar, no more than one centimeter, preferably a small one. Today we're just doing an experiment."

  Zhuang Ru started to examine her face in the mirror, it was the first time she had looked at herself so carefully since she got injured. She almost scanned all the scars on her face and finally chose a small scar above her right eyebrow. There were three long scars on her face, one of which extended from her forehead to her chin, almost reaching her eyes. This small scar was a branch of that big scar, like a centipede's foot, less than 1 cm in length.

  Xiaobai made Zhuang Ru close her eyes, and began to disinfect the wound with antiseptic cotton balls. While disinfecting, he said: "Sister Zhuang, don't be afraid, I'll have to cut open this wound from the original place later, it may not be just one knife, my knife is very fast, but you will also feel pain. Don't move at all, I have no way to tie your head up."

  Zhuang Ru closed her eyes and replied: "I'm not afraid, go ahead and do it. I've been through more painful experiences than this."

  Xiaobai: "I feel like you're very nervous, your heart is pounding."

  Zhuang Ru: "It's a bit tense, but not afraid. Just put down the knife and rest assured, my face is already like this, even if it can't be cured, another scar doesn't matter."

  Xiao Bai: "Zhuang sister, press this gauze firmly, don't move or frown."

  "What? You've already made a move?"

  Xiao Bai smiled: "Yes, just now I've cut open your wound. It's a small incision about the length of a fingernail cover, and I made six cuts in total. Your wound is relatively complicated. Now press on the wound gently, don't use too much force, I need to wait for it to stop bleeding naturally."

  "Wow, so fast! I didn't even feel it! It just felt cool and refreshing, I thought you were wiping with a medicated pad."

  "Does it hurt now?"

  Zhuang Ruyi took a cold breath between her teeth, and the pain on her forehead came, but she didn't dare to frown: "It hurts now."

  Bai Shaoliu: "I asked the doctor, in order to minimize scarring, it's best not to use anesthetics, so you'll just have to endure it."

  Zhuang Ru: "It's okay, I can bear it, how long will it take?"

  "Wait until the wound has almost stopped bleeding. - That gauze is about to seep through, change it with this one and continue pressing."

  About ten minutes later, the bleeding from Zhuo Ru's wound had stopped. Xiao Bai let her relax and carefully picked up a small amount of ointment from the medicine bowl with the flat end of the divine night jade spatula, evenly applying it to the wound. The ointment was extremely sticky, almost sticking the skin together, and there were still threads of blood seeping out of the wound, which immediately coagulated when they came into contact with the ointment. This small wound was less than one centimeter long, and even with the ointment applied, it was only about the size of a fingernail. Xiao Bai looked at it, took out an elastic band-aid that just covered the wound in the middle, stuck it on firmly, thought for a moment, and then added another strip diagonally. The two white band-aids were like a cross on Zhuo Ru's forehead, and he patted his hand and said, "The great task is accomplished!"

  Zhuang Ru picked up the mirror and took a look, then smiled: "Is that okay? Why does it look like I've had a patch job done!"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Zhuang Jie, laugh more gently, don't raise your head too high! ... I'm telling you, the first day is the most important. On this day, the wound scab cannot be disturbed, after the first day it will be much better. In total, we need to wait for seven days. After seven days, a layer of epidermis will fall off with the scab, and new flesh will grow underneath, the scar will disappear."

  Zhuang Ru: "I know, I'll be careful, it seems like I won't be able to wash my hair for these seven days."

  Bai Shaoliu: "I've prepared everything for you, including washing your hair and taking a bath. You can use this when the time comes." Xiao Bai took out a piece of waterproof adhesive tape, the kind used to stick on pain-relieving patches for rheumatism, with a medicated cotton pad in the middle that was exactly the size of two band-aids. The outer ring was stuck on just right to prevent water from seeping in.

  Zhuang Ru: "How did you think of that? This idea is really good! Xiao Bai, you're so meticulous!"

  Bai Shaoliu: "I've thought about it for several days, and I've basically considered everything that needs to be considered. Zhuang Jie, if this is successful, in the future I'll often operate on your face, are you afraid?"

  "Others may hold a knife and I'll be afraid, but if you hold a knife, I won't be afraid. Even if you use the knife to kill me, I still won't be afraid."

  "Kidding, why would I kill you? I really want these seven days to pass quickly and see what the effect is like."

  Zhuang Ru started looking in the mirror again, and instead began to comfort Xiao Bai: "It's definitely going to be okay, such expensive medicine must have an effect. The wound can heal, but unfortunately this eyebrow is still broken."

  Bai Shaoliu: "A broken eyebrow, a new life, two lives as one. In physiognomy, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. If your face is healed, won't it be a new life?"

  Zhuang Ru was shocked: "Xiao Bai, how did you understand all this?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "It's not that I understand, it was a Mr. Feng who told me, he's the same as you, his right eyebrow was also cut off by a scar."

  The person with the broken eyebrow that Xiaobai was talking about is Feng Junzi. There is a very fine scar above his right eyebrow, which can't be seen if you don't look carefully because his eyebrows are quite thick. However, when he frowns, Xiaobai's sharp eyes can still make out a narrow area where there is no eyebrow hair, which should be the mark left by the wound. One time, Xiaobai was curious and asked him what happened to his eyebrow. Feng Junzi said that when he was young, he was naughty and poked into a beehive, then turned around and ran, hitting his forehead on the corner of the wall.

  Xiaobai jokingly asked him what was the significance of this in physiognomy. Feng Junzi pretended to be profound and answered, "Broken eyebrow, new life's appearance, one life two people." As for how one life could be two people, he didn't explain, and Xiaobai didn't quite understand either. However, Zhuo Ru heard Xiaobai's words and fell silent for half a day, muttering to herself, "New life, two people."

  "That's just a fortune-telling joke, don't take it too seriously, Sister Zhuang. It doesn't matter if there's a break in the middle of your eyebrows, you can just fill it in with an eyebrow pencil."

  Zhuang Ru raised her head and smiled, but didn't dare to move her eyebrows: "That's also true, women can draw their eyebrows... Little White, give me that account, I haven't deposited the money yet, I'll be able to withdraw it tomorrow and deposit it."

  "Can't you take it out until tomorrow? What did you use the money for?"

  Zhuang Ru: "I was bored at home, so I traded stocks online. This time I even made a small profit."

  "What stocks did you buy?"

  Zhuang Ru: "Kang Ran pharmaceuticals, I didn't buy until it was under 30. Today it's over 40 and I sold all of them. Those 300,000 yuan, I earned over 100,000."

  It turned out to be this stock. Xiao Bai heard about the resolution to reduce holdings at the board meeting of Helo Group this morning and knew that it had encountered some trouble, so he laughed and said: "How did you think of buying Kang'an Pharmaceutical?"

  "By the way, don't forget what I used to do - market research and project evaluation, also a professional in finance. During this time at home, I've been studying Kangrui Pharmaceutical's announcements and reports, their new projects really have good market prospects, the stock will definitely rise again! ... Ah, right, your 200,000 is still with me, I suggest you invest it too, just buy Kangrui Pharmaceutical! ... Xiaobai, why are you smiling? I'm not joking with you."

  Bai Shaoliu: "You mentioned it, and I really remembered. You know more about the financial system than I do. Can you buy and sell Shanghai Special Economic Zone Stock Exchange stocks in Wuyue?"

  Zhuang Ru: "You really asked the right person, I used to help others with procedures. It can't be traded in a securities company, but it can be traded through the direct train business at the personal finance center of Qian Zhuang, and Wan Guo Mo Tong Qian Zhuang has opened this business."

  "Bai Shaoliu: 'Zhuang Jie, I have a favor to ask of you. I'll give you my ID card and I want you to open an account for me. Use this 2 million yuan to buy a stock in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone Stock Exchange.'"

  Zhuang Ru: "Opening an account is simple, I can help you with it. Which stocks do you want to buy?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Just one stock, Liao Cheng Pharmaceutical, I'll buy 200,000 shares."

  Zhuang Ru: "All bought? What price?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "I heard it's currently priced at around 1.8, no matter how much money, just buy in as soon as possible. You can try it too, anyway, Kang Ranyao Pharmaceutical has sold out, don't buy anymore." Bai Shaoliu had a clever idea this time, wanting to follow the trend and make a small fortune, when Luo Shuihan made a profit, he also followed suit, playing the role of a mouse warehouse.
